Does anybody else want the old N64 starcraft to come out on the virtual console? I know its probably impossible but I logged so many hours into that game that I know I would buy that game in a heartbeat if it came out on VC.

I bought that game used for 40 dollars!:? But it was worth it I guess. Still have it.:P You can get Starcraft Battle Chest for the PC for 20 bucks. I would go that route though.

i think a wiiware wii-make might be better suited... or a retail game alltogether, as its a pretty in-depth game, and i think pointer controls would be better suited for it

Yeah...that really is a shame. Starcraft with pointer controls would be awesome.

i still play it on my PC, which is by far a better version of the game. N64 Starcraft sucked compared to real starcraft. But, it would be nice to see a good RTS like starcraft find its way to the Wii.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Here's a small snip from a GDC chat given by Blizzard's game design EVP Rob Pardo:

"...[Warren] Spector then turned to Pardo and joked, 'I'd love to see what you guys do with the Wii,' to which the Blizzard exec smiled and raised his eyebrows, but stayed silent."

I wouldn't say anything is certain but Pardo's coy response has led some to speculate that Blizzard might have something up their sleeve regarding the Wii. Personally, I couldn't care less. I think Blizzard's games are VERY overrated.

No it isn't. Search Starcraft 64 to see for yourself.

Starcraft is a great game for all intents and purposes, but when Nintendo got the license for Starcraft 64, they didn't get it for very long. Meaning after about 2 years or so, Nintendo didn't have any stake in the game anymore.

It's not going to appear on the VC. A lot of people would probably get it if it were with updated controls, online mode, pointer controls, and the expansion content, but in all honesty, Blizzard supports PC before consoles. It's heart has always been with PC.

That being said, the Wii is eerily devoid of ANY RTS game... Considering the control scheme, it would seem a natural choice.

Just get it for PC, its far superior and it will probly run on any PC now. I got my copy at target for $5, though that was a long time ago.

For a game that probably sold 1000 copies on the N64 this is funny lol. But even though the game is awesome it'll never happen.

Starcraft does not belong on a console. See Starcraft 64 to see why.

It's not like there isn't room for Starcraft 64 and whatever you want to be on the VC. That's the great thing about the VC. Theoretically, there could be thousands!8)
